Meal Plans

Meal Plan Options

All students living in university housing are required to purchase a meal plan. New residential students must purchase a Gold Plan. Returning residential students have the option to purchase either a Gold or Blue plan. Meal plans are optional for students assigned to Vanderventer Apartments and for all summer housing residents.

ASU Meal Plans offer value for your dollar and students have access to a wide variety of food choices. On a price-per-meal basis, you won’t find a comparable nutritional alternative.

Summer Meal Plan

The summer meal plan is optional for summer students.

Summer Meal Plan: Summer Plans are $600/term and include 3 meals per day Monday-Friday and 2 meals each on Saturday/Sunday. Meals are limited to just one breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner each day. Service will be based out of The Caf during the official class days, where grab-and-go options* will be available. Students who purchased a Blue meal plan in the Fall or Spring may also continue to use any unused meals during the summer.

Selecting your plan: You may elect the summer meal plan when you apply for summer housing, or you may request that the summer plan be added at any time by emailing housing@angelo.edu. Please note that summer meal plans are non-refundable after the start of the summer term due to upfront costs incurred in ordering/supplying food service.

Effective Friday, May 29, 2020 through Thursday, August 6, 2020 for (Summer I and Summer II), The CAF will be the only dining facility open, offering “to go” food only.

In accordance with Angelo State University’s policies, social distancing will be enforced. We ask that you adhere to these policies for both your safety and the safety of others. You will notice The Caf has moved chairs and tables to help guests know the parameters of social distancing. For any building you enter, please sanitize your hands on the way in and again on the way out.

One of the gold meal plans is required during the academic year for all new residential students.

Gold Unlimited: The Gold Unlimited Meal Plan is an “Open Access Meal Plan” and works exactly as it sounds, unlimited access to the Food Service Center (The Caf). The meal plan holder may enter the Caf as many times as they wish during open schedule hours, and meal exchanges are accepted at other locations twice per day.* This Plan includes $100 in Ram Points.

Gold 240: This plan gives you the flexibility to use 240 meals per semester, with a maximum of 3 meals per day. Meals are intended to be used at the Caf, and meal exchanges are accepted at other locations twice per day.* This Plan includes $100 in Ram Points.

*To add greater flexibility to the Gold Meal Plans, two meals can be used as meal plan exchanges Monday-Saturday at Crossroads Cafe, Roscoe’s Den, Einstein Bros. Bagels, On The Go, and Common Grounds (instead of the Caf), from 7am - 8pm.

Unused Ram Points and meals for Gold Plans will not “roll” to the next semester. All meals/points must be used by the end of the semester during which the plan was purchased, at which time they will expire.

Blue Plans

These meal plans are available to non-residential students, renewal residential students, faculty, and staff members.

These meal plans are nonrefundable.

Blue 80: This plan gives you the flexibility to use 80 meals any time during the Academic Year at any location. Includes $25 in Ram Points.

Blue 120: This plan gives you the flexibility to use 120 meals any time during the Academic Year at any location. Includes $50 in Ram Points.

All Blue Plans are nonrefundable. Unused meals will “roll” to the next semester. All meals must be used by the end of the Academic Year during which the plan was purchased, at which time unused meals will expire. Meal plans purchased for the 2019-2020 Academic Year will expire August 2020.

*Note: Residential Students (excluding Vanderventer residents) who purchased a Blue Meal Plan for the Fall Semester will be required to purchase an additional meal plan for the Spring Semester. You will automatically be assigned the same meal plan you selected for the Fall Semester. If you did not use all the meals for the Fall Semester, they will be added to the total count of meals for the Spring Semester.

RamPoints

Each Meal Plan includes RamPoints

RamPoints are a feature included in the cost of the Meal Plans that allow you to make direct food purchases at all dining locations. To make a purchase using your RamPoints, simply present your ASU OneCard to the attendant and say you would like to use your RamPoints. The attendant will swipe your card and the amount of the purchase will be deducted from your account.

RamPoints that have not been used when a student leaves the university are not refunded.

Balances of $25 or more are refunded when the student is no longer enrolled at ASU. Balances of less than $25 will be forfeited.
